Fall River area could see first snowfall since spring this upcoming weekend
Some of us love it and some of us hate it, but it is a fact of life in Massachusetts that it will snow. Fall River could see its first snowfall since the spring this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service Boston, the Fall River area could see its first snowfall of the season.
While it is expected to be a small amount, less than an inch, we saw what happened earlier this week on area roadways when surrounding communities experienced their first snowfall, so it is something to be aware of.

Saturday
Sunny, with a high near 38. West wind 7 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Saturday Night
A chance of snow, mainly after midnight. Increasing clouds, with a low around 27. Southwest wind 5 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
